A Waltzingmouse and Pals Paper Arts Birthday

Sunday, July 11, 2010

I love combining challenges when I can. I saw the Pals Paper Arts challenge to use Basic Gray, So Saffron, and Chocolate Chip first. Then I saw the Walztingmouse sketch challenge and immediately knew that they should go together. I decided to give the rock-and-roll technique a go on the butterfly. I don't think it looks too bad, but I think I got a little too much chocolate on my peanut butter so saffron. All in all a good day since I was able to use up some more retired dsp. And, I was able to use a chocolate chip button that I've been hoarding. I think I've come to the conclusion that my hoarding tendencies have got to come to and end. What's the point really? Why in the world should I buy this stuff if all I'm going to do is stare at it? And I think that if I start using this stuff I've got sitting around, maybe I'll become more creative. Time will tell...

This is gorgeous, Jen! I love the DSP you used! Love the rock-n-roll technique on the butterfly, too! I know what you mean about hoarding those supplies and embellishments! I need someone to constantly remind me that I bought them to use them! Great job with the color challenge! Thanks for sharing!

i know what you mean w/ the hoarding. i'm like that with pattern paper, buttons and ribbons. i always think "what a waste if i use it on this card." but a dear friend told me a secret "if you use up your stash you can buy guilt-free more fun items"

anyways - i love your butterfly and your stamping technique. very well executed.

I'm just a girl who loves paper and ink. I've been stamping for many years since a friend invited me to her house to make my own Christmas cards. By day I'm a number cruncher at a bank so I love being able to finish the day with some paper, images and ink.
